A City Sinks

Before I'd left, I'd asked an acquaintance if he was from Detroit. "Indeed I am," he said, "Give me all your f--ing money." Another colleague, always mindful of my desire for maximum material, suggested, "You should go when it's warm, you'd have a better chance of getting hurt."

Thanks for this tip, Michael. I'm from (suburban) Detroit, and spent much of my youth in many of the places mentioned in the piece, from the old Tiger Stadium to the Coney Island hot dog shop near Kennedy Square. This was an oddly poignant holiday read - thanks again.
